The Great Haggis Feast

[Pinot's Mom]

Pinot's a bit better today; we'll keep you posted. Thanks!

Hi fellow kitties,
First of all, how are you feeling Pinot? I hope you're better and will be joining us for the Great Haggis Feast next week.

Well, it looks like we may have to do our celebration somewhere else. Conditions in Trenton and many parts of New Jersey are not good. There has been so much rain that there's lots of floods, roads are closed and getting around the area is very hard. Part of a major highway here collapsed from the floods, there are a lot of detours because the floods are so bad. Yesterday morning one of Meowmie's friends at work had to leave because where she lives was being evacuated. The news reports are saying even more rain is on the way.

If anyone has a suggestion or an idea of where we can celebrate, please post in. Our celebration will not be cancelled!

Your friend,
Groucho

How about Ann Arbor? The Haggis in a Hurry Shoppe here was already planning a local celebration for those who can't get to Trenton.. and the Mayor and City Council have already declared September to be Official Haggis MONTH here!

Oh thank you, Auntie Phesina! This celebration is something that we simply cannot pass up. Travel plans will have to be made within the next few days since the Great Haggis Feast is a week from tomorrow. If we move it to Ann Arbor everybody can come. Still no word from Pinot if she can make it so I'll call Cassie to see if she's our stand-by copilot.

What do all of you think about this, fellow kitties? This is such a kind and thoughtful offer. Please check in within the next 2 or 3 days, we have plans to make!

Sending you purrs and kitty hugs, Auntie Phesina

We can probably get the Michigan Stadium again, if there isn't a home game that day. Otherwise there are several really nice big parks in Ann Arbor.

There will most likely be very high attendance for the Haggis Feast. I read recently in the local news that the admissions people at the University have been marveling at the great increase in the number of Scottish students applying for admission in the last few years.. more every year. The Haggis in a Hurry Shoppe is home away from home for them!

Cassie is happy to serve as stand-by pilot! She is trying to figure out a way for the kitties to check in on Pinot via Skype. Auntie Phesina, do you think the University of Michigan or Ann Arbor will have mounted police on duty? She still wants to see horsies if that is an option.

Hmmm ... I don't know if there are mounted police around here or not.. I'll have to see what I can find out about horsies for the kitties to meet up with.
